• Find the cutting tool lost and restore on the taskbar

  I had move the pointer to the taskbar in order to have the Snipping Tool appear on the screen where I have to click a second time to activate it.  One of its options in the task bar was to remove the tool cutting of the taskbar.  I thought that removal of the tool cutting into the task bar would move on the screen where I could eliminate one click whenever I wanted to use it.  When I click on it to remove it, I could find it anywhere - not in any menu that I watched, not in Windows Help.  Where and how can I find to restore the taskbar, or better, to put it on the screen, where I can move it and click on when I want to use it.

  Make a shortcut on your desktop to it.

  Click right an empty spot on the desktop choose new / shortcut

  Give it this way...

  C:\Windows\System32\SnippingTool.exe

• Volume icon missing and disabled in the taskbar properties

  I noticed my icons for volume and network of the taskbar for a week and finally decided to try to repair.

So I rebooted.  Now I have the clock and network icons, but no battery icon and I don't always have the sound icon (which was the one I wanted) and these two are disabled in the taskbar properties.

• You cannot change the appearance and color of the taskbar

  Original title: appearance

  I don't really know how to explain it, but I have windows vista, and I can't change the appearance, because he seems to have returned to the base? On my guest account, it works, and I can change the appearance and color of the taskbar, but not on my main account. And even when you're on the internet, the X has changed and is smaller than usual. Anyway to fix it?

  See if your themes service is running:

  Start-> in the box, type start search, services.msc and press enter-> go to the bottom and double click on themes. In the properties of themes, the startup type: must be set to automatic. In the State Service click Start, if it is not started. You may need to restart.

• How to pin folders and files to the taskbar?

  I have a few updates from XP to Windows 7.  How to pin folders and files to the taskbar?  I got a lot of these in my XP Quick Launch bar.

  Mike

  PIN Windows Explorer in the taskbar and you can right click to get your recently viewed files.

  You can also add toolbars to the taskbar.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows7/add-a-toolbar-to-the-taskbar

  A toolbar can be any folder in Windows Explorer. So you can put any selection of files to a user created folder and access these files quickly thanks to a simple icon in your taskbar.

  However, don't go overboard you can quickly run out of space on the taskbar. My toolbars are interspersed between the program pinned to the taskbar, tasks and links with the Noification area to the right. The section of the program will go to a second line below according to the needs and so you can limit the space allocated to programs if you wish.

• I move images desktop into the trash, and disappears from the taskbar?

  So this is a new problem for me, and I have not found anyone who has this problem on the net.

  So, whenever I move an icon on my desktop to the trash, the taskbar disappear. On rare occasions, only the Start button will be visible, and the rest of the taskbar is missing. Of course, I can get the task bar by pressing the button on my windows, but I would like this to stop happening.

  I will answer a question you may have: no, auto-hide options have not been selected. I checked. If anyone any idea what could be the cause?

  Hi Kenneth,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I understand that the taskbar disappears as you move images from desktop to the trash and I'll be happy to answer your query. Let me ask you;

  1. This only happens when you move images of office?
  2. Have you tried to change the location of the images?

  To diagnose the problem, we will try these steps and check.

  Method 1: Start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists. If the problem does not persist in safemode, turn on your computer in a clean boot state and check.

  Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode

  Safe mode is an option of troubleshooting for Windows that starts your computer in a limited State. Only basic files and drivers needed to run Windows are started. The words Safe Mode appear in the corners of your monitor to identify which Windows mode you are using.

  See: , start your computer in safe mode

  Step 2: Perform a clean boot in order to avoid any conflict of third party software.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Place your system in the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.

  How to perform a clean boot in Windows

  Note: see 'How do I reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting' to reset the computer starts normally after troubleshooting.

  Method 2: Run the System File Checker tool

  System File Checker is a Windows utility that allows users to find corruptions in Windows system files and restore the damaged files.

  To do this, click Start, type command or cmd prompt in the Search box, right click invite, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.

  At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

  sfc/scannow

  Note: Not close this command prompt window until the audit is 100% full. The results of the analysis will be posted when this process is completed.

  Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

• Help, please! A master hard disk partition information lost and cannot start the Vista system

  I have Vista with my dell desktop computer.  I guess I got a virus that has deleted/messed my main hard drive.  All of sudden my computer was dead and when I try to restart, I found I can't boot the system.  I loaded the DVD for the resettlement of Dell to come with the computer and try to install it.  But it shows "Disk 0 unallocated space" with 222 GB and 'Disk 0 Partition 2 Recovery' with 10 GB.  I could not install Vista on the first, as it says "Windows must be installed on a partition formatted in NTFS.

  How could I solve this problem?  I could not allow me to format the drive because there a lot of data, that I just can't lose.

  Problem with the recovery process, contact Dell at the link above.

  It's recovery process from Dell, NOT Microsoft.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Try this to save your data:

  Data recovery:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.
